She looked in two or V.,;U;nnr an1 InAC hPPailP tyes were keen to detect out- - pnenomena, nowever miwh, saw tracks leading up the street toward the old Goldcrest mine shaft. "Git! Gil along!" she ordered her burros, and moved with them to follow the tracks. Dust was still eddying, settling when she came to the gaping hole in the mountain side that marked the old mine shaft. It alarmed her at once. "YOO-HOO! Miss Roselee?" She cupped her hands behind her ears, and heard enough to make her move swiftly. In scarce ly no time she had jerked her lantern and a pick off a burro, and was hastening into the yawning mine shaft herself. She went down its slope at a trot, fear in her old heart. She had been around mining people all her life. She knew some of the dangers that beset them. For once, though, Providence had been kind. Mrs. Hogan labored for no more than a quarter-hour when she caught Christine Palmer s hands and pulled that pale and fright ened girl through a rocky noie. Together they extricates Kose- lee, then Franklin Larraway, and finally big Dick Bancroft. Despite the danger they had faced Dick managed now to look at all of them with a reassuring smile. There was a great deal of talking and shaking and thanksgiving and trembling, and worrying without reason, and when they came to daylight again the young people realized they had been imprisoned for almost two hours. Mrs. Hogan inspected the girls. "Ye're both pale in yer gills," she declared. "Why you woulda got out presently, with Mr. Rich ard here a diggin that way, noney: But I shoulda got here sooner. Your ma'll chide me for neglect ing you like this!" She comforted Roselee, dusting her and talking affably. "Only thing, Mrs. Hogan Franklin put in, "we were afraid our digging would cause another cave-in. And we didn't have any tools, or any sort of light. I lest the flash like a baby! We knew we were digging right because we could get a whiff of fresh air, but we were surely scared. We owe you plenty for happening along.' "That ain't so, son!" the good lady said, but she beamed under his kindness, even so. "Youd got out. I'm curious. I'm a goin' back down In there for a spell just to look it over, right now.

Koseiee breathed, pres tly. "We're off to a fine start, e planned to thrill a lot of tour- :S. and We hpsin hv thrillinn ourselves! Anybody too scared to go on : 'Nuts." said Dick, mattpr.nf. factly. "Let's get to work. Anyhow e got the money buried in there, 's under some of that fallen rock, ife as DOSsiblp. T.pt's srattpr oe planned. And stay out of danger ous places, you guys'." Roselee looked happily at him. She liked the way Dick Bancroft took charge of things. Without a further word he and Franklin left them they had already agreed on the order of the first day's work and she watched the two handsome youths striding toward Franklin's car. She was looking more direct ly, however, at Dick himself. Isn't Dick the best-lookine thing that ever walked?" Chris tine breathed then, surprisingly. Koseiee turned to look at her friend. "Why Christy!" "Hmmm?" "Are you? Why, yes! Dick moves gracefully. He is a fine athlete, remember. I I think we re lucky to have hired him Roselee turned the talk into business. But in her heart had been planted a sudden new worry. A vague, undefined little worry, it is true; quite inconsequential as yet, but recognizable. Roselee looked up to study anew Chris tine's ereni posture, her long slen der legs and shapely body, the nair wave and the proud set of her head which made her friend distinctly statuesque. You are beautiful, Christine! Roselee declared, suddenly, and meant it. And sweet! Christy looked at her a trifle curiously. "Sure. Just discover ing it, kid?" She thought it mere ly a matter for kidding and fun. Prettiest thing in Arizona next to you. Shall we go call Mrs Hogan and get her settled first?" J. hey wouidn t venture again far into the shaft, and they heard her coming back out anyway. The good woman's eyes were lighted with something more than the presence of daylight when she came from the hole. She held five or six egg-sized rocks in her hands, clutched them close to her. "Children," she spoke excitedly, 'I alw'ys say trouble is right fre quent a blessing in diguise." "Why, Mrs. Hogan? Why do you say that.' Roselee looked curiously at her. Nev' mind! You wait, honey, till I'm shore what I'm a talking about!" Roselee changed the subject. Perhaps poor Mrs. Hogan was just an old lady getting a little queer, she guessed.
